Geum Rustico™ Orange

Rustico™ Series Avens

Sorry Sold Out

Glowing orange flowers are held high above lush foliage on purple stems.

Mounding lush foliage anchors glowing orange flowers held high above on purple stems like dozens of 2” pinwheels. A real splash of color in a semi-shady spot. Long blooming.

Geum Rustico™ Orange was evaluated in the trial gardens at Colorado State University where they designated this perennial as their 2018 ‘Top Performer’. Smothered with colorful flowers, but is also prized for its foliage – thick with a very uniform appearance. A great choice for mass plantings. Quick to establish. Remove the faded flower heads to encourage repeat blooms.

Geum General Information

Geum prefer rich, well-drained soil. Some moisture required. Morning sun with afternoon shade is preferred in hot summer climates. Good winter drainage is necessary for survival. Idaho has restricted all potted plant material from being shipped into Idaho at this time.

Geum Plant Care

Can be divided every 2 years or so in early spring or early fall. Cut back spent foliage in summer after flowering for flush of new growth. Deadheading encourages greater flower production.

Plantable Pots

Our plants are grown in 3.5x3.5x4” plantable pots. Made from 100% biodegradable coconut husk fibers (coir), these pots have tremendous advantages over plastic pots. With better air exchange, this "breathable" pot fosters robust root growth and reduces transplant shock since you can plant the pots directly in the ground. The pot naturally becomes part of the soil on its own over time—no composting required—and since they're made from a renewable resource that requires very little energy, they're earth-friendly too!

100% Guarantee

We offer a 100% unconditional guarantee for all our perennials to reach you in good condition and to grow. If you're not satisfied, we'll reship or refund immediately. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have questions or concerns—we share your passion for gardening and want your new plants to thrive in your border!
